Can there be a perfect all rounder?

A rifle that is capable to reach afar with great precision without undue bulk, and still be able to do for 50 yd. in the deep wood shots? Waste is a pity, efficiency rules provided it's plenty. Seems something .30-06 class northward (half ounce bullets available?) and a 4-12x scope might be close.

Man, I think 300 yds. would be about my limit under about any condition. I almost(!) took a shot at a Red Stag once at a lazered 268 yds. with my FA .378 GNR cranked to 8X. But a Stag is a pretty big critter too, and I had a good rest. I later took him at 100 yd. So that's my "Handgun" All-rounder!

Happy times with my hunting partner Steve Oliver. (FWIW - Steve was later killed in a farming accident, run over by a batwing bush-hog and 90 hp tractor. Several Misfits knew him from the Y-O) His son, Ben Oliver, runs a Hunting themed bar in KS City called "The Lodge" sporting his father's Africa Trophys.
